The School District of Beloit, WI introduced TRIBES in 1996 through a competitive Alcohol and Drug Prevention grant. TRIBES is a "process" to enhance learning and human development by creating "learning communities" where all students feel included, accepted and safe. A three-year evaluation of TRIBES in the Beloit Schools showed some amazing results: more caring, supportive classrooms, fewer behavioral problems and a positive impact on student achievement. TRIBES helps students maximize their learning and social development and is utilized from kindergarten through high school. TRIBES is, indeed, a new way of learning and being together.
